On paper our government is insisting PHCN is generating well above 4000MW of electricity in Nigeria. I live in Lagos around Gbagada and in the last 2 months I have not enjoyed light for 2 hours in a day. I leave my house 6am and get back home 7pm, and within the remaining hours of each day, PHCN only restore electricity sometimes between 1am and 2am when it will not be useful for enyone and this has been the routine for sometime now.

The most annoying part is that I pay 6k electricity bill every month even under this same condition which I have revolted severally but nothing has changed as they keep ripping me off without any service rendered.

I learnt PHCN staff were on strike for some 3 days about 2 weeks ago, but the strike made no difference as far as nigerians are concerned, PHCN is on strike everyday. Now Nigerians, how is light in your area? if it is the same situation as mine then where goeth the light? where goeth the 4000MW and where are they distributed to?

How is light around where you live?

in my area in delta state, there has been light since sunday till now and it just went off only twice and it comes back on almost immediately. But our electric wires are our problems here as they cut easily. In some other parts of delta there's stil power problem too. So i guess is the area

That is incredible. How is the electricity distributed then?

I hope you dont experience the crazy billings anyway? or are you on prepaid meter?

prepaid all the way. But they have stopped all sales cos they seem to be countin their loss as no more unnecessary extortion

Another Policy breakdown in naija. LOL

enjoy your fresh (phart) air my dear. nepa gave us 16k+ to pay for one month alone, residential house for that matter, wbo do i cry to? you voted jonathan and expect constant light. it only takes somebody who is not corrupt to fight corruption. not until corruption is rediused drastically you aint getting light for one hour.
it is only in nigeria contracts are awarded and completed on paper.

16k+ electricity bill?? Jesus, dats too high o for a residential house. You guys have to go and complain sharply cause if you pay promptly it'll only get higher.

Here in greater port harcourt we have electricity at least every other night from 1am to 5am

Only at Night when load usage would have reduced drastically? the few hours we get electricity here too is at around this same period and that is why I wonder what happened to the 4000mw claimed generated.
Anyone with a better understanding of PHCN to educate us.

we expected constant electricity but all we got is constant blackouts and bills.
sorry, who is the president again?
